Six Girls Who Tramped from Switzerland
to Paris.
A band of walking women has just ar
rived IN Paris that is at once original,
courageous and interesting. 1t consists
of six young, unmarried women
who have tramped across coun-
try from Switzerland. Too much
could not be said in praise of the
energy of these young ladies, hardly out
of school, says Paris letter TO the Phiis-
delphia Press, while a good deal might
perhaps be said in depreciation of their
temerity. But ALPS well, etc, and the
end justifies, etc. They have arrived safely
and gained more fun and experience than
they could in any other way that can be
thought of.
Their trip took them over the mountains
of Switzerland, starting from the TyrOl,
through Genevs and Lyons. They had no
escort whatever, refusing baughtily even
the proffered services of a worthy old
lady who wanted to act as chaperOnu for
the party. Each one was armed with
staff and over her shoulder she slung
bag filed with a light travelling outfit.
This outfit included in every case ham
the hammoCks were swung in the trees
and the young tramps rolled themselves
up in blankets and went to sleep under
the guard of the moon and the stars.
There were days, or nights rather, when
the weather was not prOpitious for this
sort of entertainment; in such cases they
cOndescended to put up at q tavern.
Everywhere on their journey they have
created sensation, and the universal
interest aroused in them was undoubtedly
their chief protection against uncomforts
BILE adventures.
A copious journal wss kept of their ex-
perlences, each member of the party tax
ing her turn at keeping the record of the
day. The journal contains upward q
1900 pages Of manuscript closely written
The suggestion that the last years of these
young ladies' lives may be narrowed witt
rheumatism is irresistible, but at the
present they show no unhappy signs Of
their winter journey. One cannot help
wondering, too, what their parents were
thinking Of when they allowed the girls to
depart. But, perhaps, like their America
sisters, they took the thing into their OWE
hands and asked permission Of nobody.

The Creditable Energy Displayed
by the Northern acif1c Company
i'm Keeping ats s.ine Open.
Special Correspondence of the Globe.
BISMARCK, Feb. 4.-The Northern Pa
ciic Railroad company is worthy of the
highest praise for the energy it has shown
the past winter in keeping open its line be-
tween St. Paul and its western terminus.
Five years ago with such a blizzard raging
as visited this portion of the Northwest last
week, would have kept the road shut up
for weeks, but now it seems impossible for
the elements to hold the trains more than
few hours behind their schedule time. The
passenger trains for several days past have
been coming into Bismarck drawn by two
locomotives. and these are usually preceded
by one or more snow pl0WS, so it can be
seen that it has cost the Northern Pacific
Railroad company great many thousands
of dollars to give the people along its line
train service this winter, AS soon as it
was learned that the train from the west
was snow-bound in the Bad Lands, three
crews Of men were sent out from here to
liberate it. and they were successful, the
train coming in just day late; but the day
previous train had been made up at Mar
dan and sent east, so that east-bou mail
from this point suffered no delay. The
idea that majority of the people have that
a train to be snow-bound must be buried in
a drift to the car windows is an erroneous
one. With the wind blowing at the rate it
blew in the recent blizzard it would
pack the SHOW so hard between the rails
that depth of three inches will hold
train helpless. 1t packs SO hard that it
will bear the weight of a locomotive, and to
attempt to break through it is to run a risk
of leaving The track. This seems almost
incredible, but such is fact. On the level
and open prairie, the spectacle of a train
buried in snow to the windows, as pictured
in the pictorial papers of the East, is never
seen. Sometimes in the cuts the snow drifts
to depth of two or three feet, but cut
drift offers less resistance than the snow
that packs to a depth of two or three
inches between the rails Speaking of the
Northern Pacific. the road seems to have
suddenly been stricken with spasm of
generosity. A few weeks ago it cut down
its travelling rates through the territories;
a little later it increased the salaries of its
conductors and brakemen, and now the
board of directors has voted 500, 600 for
the purpose of buying seed wheat to be
distributed among the farmers whose crops
failed last season. This last act has raised
the railroad company several degrees in the
respect of the farmers. and it is expected
that it will have an effect favorable to the
railroad company on railroad legislation
this session. TEE AITCH.

RE OF SNOW.
The Injury to Wheat, However,
Seems Not to fse Great.

Seems Not to fse Great.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-In this weeks issue
of the Farmers Review the following sum-
mary of crops will appear: The wheat
fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas at the close of last week were
generally bare of snow, while those of
Michigan and Wisconsin were generally
well protected. Tho amount of attendant
injury resulting from the disappearance of
snow has thus far been light, though occa-
siOnal reports of damage from freezing have
already been made In Clay and Franklin
counties, in Southern Illinois, some of the
fields show injury from freezing. In John
son and Spencer counties, in Southern Indi-
ana. wheat has been badly injured by freez-
ing. Reports from IA other counties
show wheat looking fair to good. In
Champaign and Franklin counties of Ohio.
injury from freezing is indicated. The
complaint of continued dry and cold
wheather is made by many of the counties
of Kansas and serious injury in this regard
IS reported from Cowley, Davis, Douglas,
Harper, Mitchell, Smith and Sumner coun-
ties. The crop is reported as looking we'll
in Bourbon, Ellsworth, Osborne and Rock
counties. Discouraging reports OF the con-
dition of wheat are made from Gentry and
Livingstone counties of Missouri, owing to
freezing. but in Davies, Mercer, Miller,
Rolls. Salem and st. Charles counties, the
fields, although bare, are reported as look
ing well. The movement of corn is scarcely
preceptible in Iowa and is very slow in
Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa. Indiana and
Ohio, owing to bad roads, though the
stocks are reported low in all the states
named The reports show also that there
is a very slow shipping movement OF pota-
toes in all the Western states and generally
light supply"

a Nlis Int shock.


ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Feb. Ga slight shock
of earthquake was felt in this city between
4 and 4:10 this morning. The movement
was barely noticeable in the central PARTON
of the city, but in the outskirts and suburbs
several persons were awakened by the
shock. In the southern portion of the city
pictures moved from the walls, but no dam
age of any kind is yet reported. Reports
from Southeastern Illinois and Southern
Missouri state the shock was felt i'll those
localities, but it seems to have been no more
severe there than here.
CHICAGO. Feb. 6.--An earthquake was
distinctly felt at Springfield, Centralia,
Hillsboro and number of other places in
Southern and Central Illinois to-day.
Vibrations were also observed in Terre
Haute and Evansville, Ind. The seismo-
scope in the Polytecinic institute.
Terre Haute. recorded the time of the shock
as 4:15. President Mendenhall, of the
institute, estimates the duration OF the
shock at ten seconds. He places the in
tensity at from two to three on basis
which gave the Charleston quake an III
tensity of six. The shock was not felt in

4 Movement at Jamestown, Dak..
for the Formation OF am AsricuIs
tUral Association.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN. OAK. Feb. 6.-There is a,
movement on foot IN this city which has for
its end the formation of a county agricul-
turai association. The matter has been
talked of for some months, but no decisive
move was made until recently. The
movement is an indirect outcome of the
Grand Forks fair of last fall. which I. G.
Wade, of this city. attended with his herd
of fine Holsteins. During his stay in the
city the feasibility of a North Dakota fair.
to be held alternately at Grand Forks and
Jamestown, was discussed and number of
the leading men in attendance agreed to
work to secure from the legislature an ap-
preparation for such a purpose. When the
recent bill was introduced in the legislature,
which provides for such fair. to be held
alternately at jamestown, Fargo and Grand
Forks, the matter was revived and arrange
ments made for the organization of
county agricultural society, and the COM
binatlon with it for the first year of the
